A numerical study was carried out to quantify the effect of a residual stress field on subsequent fracture behaviour of a girth welded pipe with an internal circumferential long crack when subjected to high applied strain loading. In order to introduce an initial residual stress field similar to a welding process in a pipe, a quenching process was numerically simulated and associated residual stress profiles were modified and mapped into the finite element (FE) models. A detailed comparison between the crack driving force for various cases with and without residual stress and weld strength mismatch was carried out for cases under a high plastic deformation regime. The BS7910 procedure was also used to predict crack driving forces using its current assumption of interaction of residual stress with primary loads. The results obtained from the FE analyses were compared with the BS7910 predictions.
